'Isn't She Pretty' by Stevie Wonder

'Isn't She Pretty' by Stevie Wonder is the perfect song for the father-daughter dance. Please add this to your list. It is easy to dance to, has very happy lyrics, slightly upbeat, appropriate for all ages plus Stevie Wonder has a great voice.

Sunrise, Sunset (Fiddler on the Roof)

This is a great song, and not just for Jewish ceremonies. It looks at the time of growing up and apart, but with love.

This song says it all...

Dancing with my Daughter

This song is better that any other one I have heard yet it does not seem to be popular. Perhaps that is because it is a very old song. It brings tears to my eyes when ever I listen to it.

Father and Daughter

I would add Father and Daughter by Paul Simon! Its an amazing song that featured in The Wild Thornberry's Movie. its more upbeat but it was very fitting for me
